This article examines Kanye West's recent string of controversial and harmful actions, including antisemitic and sexist remarks, support for accused criminal Sean Combs, and promotion of pornographic content. The author argues that while West's behaviour has become increasingly extreme, it is finally time to stop giving him attention and platform.
Even his most ardent followers at this point must find it difficult to keep up. It turns out that rock bottom is actually lower than I thought. Every time I think Kanye West has plumbed the depths of his behaviour, he digs a little deeper and finds another creative way to make me ashamed to have ever enjoyed his music.
The rapper’s latest dose of second-hand embarrassment came in the form of a sexist, antisemitic tirade on X, in which he professed his love for Hitler, claimed to have dominion over his wife and accused Elon Musk of stealing his ‘Nazi swag’ after *that* infamous salute at Donald Trump’s inauguration. He even used his X account, which he has subsequently deleted, to show his support for fellow rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. That’s the same Combs who, if you haven’t been following the news, is currently awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. He also flooded his feed with porn, which might seem acceptable now Elon Musk has made the platform something of a wild west, but still isn’t something you want jumping out at you while you’re scrolling at work – or, in the case of his younger fans, at school. Of course, as is often the case with Kanye, most of us can’t help but gawp at his continuing descent into hate and depravity – but maybe this latest string of outbursts should be a sign to us all that it’s finally time to stop fuelling him with our attention. Just in case you were wondering whether his pro-Nazi stance was some misguided attempt at satire, at the time of writing the only thing that can be purchased from Kanye’s website is a t-shirt with a swastika emblazoned on it. And you thought those Yeezy trainers were bad. His recent stunt at the Grammys has bizarrely ended up one of his least objectionable recent behaviours (Picture: Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images for The Recording Academy). I’m Jewish, so seeing West double down on his antisemitism is especially heartbreaking for me as somebody who used to genuinely enjoy his music. I’m used to celebrities I like letting me down – two of my favourite movies, Se7en and the Usual Suspects, star Kevin Spacey, but West is going out of his way to harm the Jewish community in a way that feels exceptionally malicious and personal. His recent stunt at the Grammys, which he gatecrashed with basically nude wife Bianca Censori in tow, has bizarrely ended up one of his least objectionable recent behaviours. At this point it almost seems quaint. Kanye’s latest outbursts just don’t have the same kind of staying power (Picture: Brad Barket/Getty Images for Fast Company). This may be news to you, and it’s perfectly understandable if this stuff went over your head. At this point, ‘Kanye West does something horribly baffling or bafflingly horrible’, is something of an evergreen headline. Even his most ardent followers at this point must find it difficult to keep up. Compare that to his earlier major controversies in the 2000s, like when accused George Bush of not caring about Black people on live television in the wake of the president’s lacklustre Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, or the time he gate-crashed Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the 2009 VMAs. Not only were these incidents significantly less harmful than his current fare (Taylor Swift seems to be doing OK…), but they actually contributed quite a lot to his ‘eccentric, misunderstood artist’ mystique
